Founded in 1756, Riedel is a family brand of Austrian barware and the pioneer of functional wine glasses, and its ninth generation helmsman, Claus Riedel, is known as the father of modern wine glasses for creating a simple glass shape with "thin walls and no decoration".
Liduo believes that although the wine glass does not change the essence of the wine, its shape can determine the flow direction, smell, quality and strength of the wine, and then affect the aroma, taste, balance and aftertaste of the wine, so he advocates the use of wine glasses according to the characteristics of the wine, which is the so-called functional wine glass (varietal-specific), this concept is also reflected in the Liduo wine glass product line, its classification is very detailed, especially the Sommeliers series of Liduo, the classification is fine, To the extent that one wine is one glass.
Liduo wine glasses are more textured, and the bottom of the cup is made larger and heavier, especially handmade cups, which cannot be extremely thin by manual blowing, so they have a certain weight. Liduo glasses are divided into handmade and machine-made, hand-made in 6 series, produced in Austria, and machine-made glasses in nearly 20 series, made in Germany, all made of lead-free crystal glass.
The representative of the handmade wine glass series is the famous Sommeliers series, as the most classic series of Liduo, the craftsmanship is fine, widely praised among wine fans, Robert Pike, who created the wine RP scoring system, once said: "Whether from the point of view of technical expertise, or from the aesthetic judgment of the seeker of taste, Liduo's wine glass is the best in the world."
The Sommeliers series has 27 cup types on Liduo's official website, and only two of the most commonly used ones have been introduced by Chinese official channels: the Bordeaux Cup and the Burgundy Cup, two sets of two, each priced at 1,750 yuan. It should be reminded that there is a chance that there are small defects in the handmade cup, such as the tiny bubbles of the cup foot, which is still qualified, and if you want to avoid it completely, you can only go to the store to inspect and buy the goods on the spot.
The Sommeliers Black Tie series can be regarded as an evolution of Sommeliers, based on the shape of the Sommeliers series of cups, which are also handmade, with black legs for red wine glasses and black bottoms for white wine glasses, priced at about 1,500 yuan each.
Those who like colorful cup legs can also pay attention to the Fatto a mano series, named from the Italian "handmade", Chinese translated as "bright", as the name suggests, the color of the cup legs is changeable, inspired by the ancient and colorful Venetian glass art. Called "handmade", in fact, semi-handmade cups, cup body machine blowing, cup foot cup bottom handmade, domestic e-commerce has been introduced, and a variety of cup types are relatively complete, 828 yuan a, another set (6 different colors), the price is 5899, gifts can be considered.
The mechanism cup is recommended for the Vinum series, and Liduo is officially positioned as the first functional wine glass series in the mechanism cup, and the price is much cheaper, and you can get one for about 300 yuan. However, as a functional cup, Sixum itself has many cup types, and the introduction of domestic e-commerce flagship stores is incomplete, and there is only a set of Vinum champagne glasses.
In addition, there is a very distinctive O Wine Tumbler series, which is the first stalkless functional mechanism cup created by Liduo, breaking the convention that wine glasses must be goblets, and the price of 360 yuan for a set of two is very approachable, and it is not obtrusive to use as a daily drinking cup. However, as with the Vinum series, although there is a O Wine Tumbler series in the flagship store, the cup types introduced are not complete.
